Stanford Pediatric Fellowship Programs

Fellowship Programs at Stanford Children's Health are designed to provide outstanding training to prepare our fellows to excel as sub-specialty clinicians, researchers, teachers, advocates, and become leaders within the field of pediatrics. The Department of Pediatrics at Stanford University currently trains 136 fellows across 28 subspecialty training programs. 

Department Fellowship Program

  • Created in 2017 to prepare fellows to excel as sub-specialty clinicians, scholars, teachers, and advocates and become leaders within their fields.
  • Through a unique and innovative curriculum, we provide the skills needed to ensure fellows are outstanding candidates for positions after fellowship.
  • Our mission includes exceptional training and mentorship in basic, translational, clinical, and epidemiologic research to facilitate fellows' professional transition into academic faculty positions.
  • By providing centralized programming, including program leadership, and exposing fellows to a diverse and broad group of faculty facilitators, we are establishing a robust learning community and a rich professional network.
